What are the supported file types in TrialPad?

Adobe Acrobat 

Adobe Acrobat PDF is the standard format for document production. Our best practices recommendation is to use PDF files for all documents and photographs whenever possible.

NOTE: Password protected files need to have the password removed in order to be viewable in TrialPad.

An older bitmap image standard for document production.

NOTE: TrialPad can import single-page or multi-page TIFF files.

High Efficiency Image File 

.HEIC 

HEIC is a new image file format created by Apple which is based on the High Efficiency Image File (HEIF) standard. 

.TXT 

Lightweight files used for deposition and trial transcripts in TranscriptPad. If a TXT file is imported into TrialPad the page formatting will be lost, but page and line numbering will match the court reporter’s official transcript. 

Compressed or Zipped File 

.ZIP 

Compressed files that can contain multiple files and folders which will retain the file and folder structure when imported into TrialPad. 

Video File Formats 

.MOV .MP4 .M4V 

If you have any difficulty with a video file we suggest using the free Handbrake desktop program (http://www.handbrake.fr) to convert video into one of the supported formats. It has an iPad preset to make the conversion process easy.
